SUCCESSION PLANNING
WITH AHRI:ASSIST
Many businesses are failing to properly
plan for and complete transition to the
next generation of leaders according to
Deloitte research. Crucial to any workforce
plan, succession planning mitigates the
risk of critical business operational gaps
and can also provide career paths for
existing talent. The AHRI:ASSIST resources
centre has information sheets on the
stages of succession planning and talent
management plus you can download a key
succession planning position classification
template to use in your organisation.

NFP LOSE OUT
One small detail of the
Federal budget will have
a big impact on not-for-
profit organisations. Salary
packaging has long been
used as a tool to attract and
retain talent in the sector.
But from 1 April 2016, the
value of entertainment
benefits, such as meals
and facility leasing, is to be
capped at $5000 per year,
per employee. According
to accounting firm Grant
Thornton Australia,
although the change was
expected, it exceeds what
most would view as fair.
VISA UPDATE
The government
announced earlier this
year that it intends to
scrutinise more carefully
applications around the
457 visa programme
to ensure Australian
workers have priority while supporting employers with genuine
skill shortages. Penalties will be imposed on employers receiving
payment in return for sponsoring a worker, as well as ensuring
that workers on 457 visas are receiving their nominated salary
and not undercutting a native worker. Those businesses that are
complying will incur less regulation and costs. Meanwhile funds
from the program will be funnelled towards training Australians
in occupations where there are skills shortages.
